Wasting time

I've decided to do that iTunes meme again, only this time instead of the first 25 songs, I'm going to do my favorites. In case you didn't catch the meme the last time, here's the deal: look at the lyrics and comment with the names of any songs you know. I'll cross them out and add the answers to the entry as they're guessed. Googling lyrics falls under the category of Very Not Cool. (One of these I only got a couple of days ago and can't actually play on iTunes, but I loved it instantly and have listened to it many times, so I'm listing it as a favorite anyway.)

5. i don't want to fake it/i just want to make it/the ornaments look pretty but they're pulling down the branches of the tree/i don't want to think about it i don't want to talk about it/when i kiss your lips i want to sink down to the bottom of the sea- "Love You Madly" by Cake (guessed by crazybutsound)
6. next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties/and one day passed away in his sleep/and his wife she stayed for a couple of days and passed away/i'm sorry i know that's a/strange way to tell you that i know we belong- The Luckiest by Ben Folds (guessed by crazybutsound)

That last one isn't actually a song, but I have an iTunes file of it, so it counts. (truntles, I will be very disappointed if you don't get it. It's how I found you, remember?)
